Does this fixture get hot on the outside?

Depends on the type of bulb used. If you use compact fluorescent bulbs, then no, just warm. If you use incandescent bulbs then maybe, depending on the wattage of the bulb.

It does mostly near the vents. But close to 110 F in a cool room only on at night. Almost killed a spider

My fixture is under a ledge, it is not out in the open. So far I have had no problems. Hope this helps.

Halogens do tend to get very hot. We replaced the bulbs that came with the fixture with LED bulbs that do not generate the heat.

No. It's just a wall sconce which is operated by a switch external to the fixture.

No but I do have it in a fixture that has a reflector shield around it to concentrate the light. It is as hot as a regular light bulb.

Mine is in the bathroom, so can't answer that question. I will speculate that from the looks of the exterior finish that it shouldn't be so susceptive to the elements.

You want a shade that allows air flow to the bulb. This light doesn't get as hot as an incandescent bulb, but it does generate heat and that heat can damage the electronics if it's in a completely closed fixture.

It does not get too hot as its only 10 watts. You should be fine putting it in an enclosed fixture.

No it does not get very hot. I have it mounted on my wall to make my stars light up too!

Hello,To be honest, I haven't used them outside yet. My fixtures outside are different than inside.

It does get hot, but it is vented forward, not backwards. Best to wall mount to ceiling mount it away from you.

I have mine outside, they are not a water tight fixture but they are well protected from the elements. I have not had any problems, they have been up for about 3 months. So far so good!!

That would be a question for the manufacturer but I can tell you that I have this on my patio and was surprised that the wall and ceiling around it does not get hot - only the protective cover around the lamp gets hot

The bulb itself does not get hot, just the skirt area which has a safe to touch fluted plastic shirt. I love that feature.

I can't say for sure. Does the bathroom fixture cause more heat to be retained? If the bulb gets hotter the extra heat may cause bulb failure.

No, It doesn't get that hot, at least not to burn on the front if you touch it. It will get warm. The outside doesn't get hot.
